Chapter 15
"I have it myself."

She shook another sheet of paper.

"This is for grandma. If I earn money in the future, I will buy more for grandma."

The reason why she did this was because Mrs. Liu always nagged that there was no land at home, and she felt uneasy because she had to buy everything with money.

After all, Mrs. Liu is old, so she can be regarded as a reassurance to Mrs. Liu.

Liu's hands holding the deed paper trembled like autumn leaves.

The roots of farmers are in the ground.

In the past, she always felt that she and her daughter were like grass without roots, a gust of wind could blow them down.

She never thought that she could become a landed person.

And it's still nine acres of first-class farmland!
If any woman has such a dowry, she will be straight when she marries into her husband's family.

Aunt Cui watched from the side, feeling a little sour in her heart.

This girl is quite willing, and she doesn't know when Gu Nanyan will be so kind to her.

But she still helped to persuade:
"Auntie will accept it if Gu girl expresses her kindness. For her, this is like going up the mountain to catch a bear."

After finishing speaking, he asked Gu Nanyan: "Is that right, girl Gu?"

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Can she say no?

Apart from the small animals in Huohuo's back mountain, can't she do something in-depth?

Gu Nanyan cooked the lunch.

To be precise, she was just talking, and it was Mrs. Liu who really did it.

Mrs. Liu made a big pot of stewed potatoes with braised pork, and mixed some side dishes with shredded radish to get rid of the greasy taste.

At Gu Nanyan's strong request, he baked more than a dozen cakes that were bigger than his face.

Because there were many sick people in the family, Gu Nanyan said that they had taken medicine and could not eat these greasy foods, so Mrs. Liu cooked another big pot of porridge.

Looking at the food on this table, Mrs. Liu twitched in distress.

What a waste!

The elders in the town may not necessarily eat such a rich meal.

When it was time for lunch, there were only three of them in the courtyard, and the others ate in the house.

Butler Zhao wanted to get up and serve Master Li for dinner, but Gu Nanyan slapped him down.

Master Li smelled the aroma of braised pork wafting in from time to time, and then looked at the thick rice porridge in his bowl, and suddenly lost his appetite.

The three of them were preparing to eat when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Mom, where are you eating?"

As soon as Gu Laishhou entered the door, he was attracted by an overbearing fragrance.

Looking at the big pot of braised pork with a lot of meat and less vegetables, Gu Laishhou glared and swallowed his saliva.

He knows that his mother is living a good life now, but this is too good!

It was the first time he had seen so much meat, that one piece was as wide as two fingers.

Darling, will you choke if you eat such a big piece?

"The third child is here, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Liu is still satisfied with this third son, at least he still has her as a mother in his eyes.

In the past when he brought things over, Mrs. Liu didn't want them, so he threw them into the yard and ran away, for fear that Mrs. Liu would return them to him.

"No...well, Guixiang brought some small river prawns back from her mother's house, and asked me to bring them to you."

Guixiang is the name of his daughter-in-law Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu is Liu's natal niece. Back then, Gu Laishhou fell in love with her and wanted to marry her back home.

However, Liu's natal family is poorer than Gu's, so Gu Mancang disagrees with him marrying Xiao Liu.

After a month of hard work, Mrs. Liu agreed to this marriage under pressure.

This is the aunt and nephew, and Xiao Liu is grateful to her aunt for letting her in, so the relationship between the two is very good.

Xiao Liu originally thought that although the river prawns are small, they are still meat.

Let him quietly deliver it to Liu Shi and Gu Nanyan, so that they can get dirty.

But looking at the pot of meat and delicious pancakes, Gu Laishhou suddenly felt that the prawns in his hand were a bit overwhelming.

Gu Nanyan saw his embarrassment, and took the things in his hand.

"It's a coincidence that the third uncle came. Grandma left a bowl of food for you and the third aunt, and said that she would send it to you after the meal. Now that I'm here, I can save grandma from making another trip."

When Gu Laishhou looked at the big bowl in the kitchen, he knew that Gu Nanyan did not belong to him, and he was immediately moved beyond measure.

Sure enough, it was Aniang who treated him best!
Mrs. Liu was in a daze. She knew that Gu Nanyan had left vegetables and some egg pancakes in the kitchen, so she thought it was for Mrs. Bai and the others.

Was it for San'er?

Liu patted Gu Nanyan's head lovingly.

She knew that Nannan did all this for her sake. This girl has always been careful, and she should have seen that she was unhappy because of the matter of her eldest son.

She said to Gu Laishhou: "You can eat here, take those from the kitchen with you when you leave."

After all, Mrs. Sun was a little disgusted.

She also thought that she would eat less of this big dish and let her granddaughter eat more.

Gu Laishhou always eats like a vicious dog at Gu's house, but today he is much more elegant and quiet.

There's no way, he can't be reincarnated like a starving ghost in front of his niece, as an uncle, he must retain some dignity.

After the meal, Gu Nanyan told him about buying the land.

After all, there are only two of her and Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu is getting old, so she doesn't want Mrs. Liu to work hard.

Besides, the construction of the greenhouse in the early stage also required help from others. Gu Nanyan simply hired someone to do the work. Although Gu Laishhou was a bit unscrupulous, he was still decent.

When Gu Laishhou knew that Gu Nanyan wanted to hire him to work and gave him two taels of silver a month, he was totally taken aback.

Even if you work in the town, you don't get two taels of silver a month, and you don't have work every day.

Even the talented gentleman who copied books in the town only had one tael and a half silver at most in a month.

Gu Laishhou rubbed his hands, his mouth trembling.

He is not the eldest son like his eldest brother, nor does his second brother know how to drill a camp, nor does he have any work that can be done.

Living under the shadow of his two elder brothers since childhood, his father wished he could scold him three times a day.

Being disliked a lot, he felt that was it.

So he started wandering around the village all day, turning a deaf ear to what the villagers said about him being idle.

But now his eldest niece actually wants to take care of his work and pay him so much money.

Gu Laishhou looked at his mother's face, and when he saw that the other party didn't respond, he hesitated.

"Girl Nan, why don't Third Uncle not be paid first, and you can just take care of the meal."

Nan Yatou said that she wanted to build some kind of vegetable shed, and she would hire a dozen more workers, and she would pay one or two taels of silver a month.

I have never heard anyone say that it can be cultivated in winter.

If it doesn't come out, isn't it a waste of money?

Moreover, the monthly salary is only tens of taels, which is enough for a large family to eat for several years.

Seeing what he meant, Gu Nanyan grinned.

"Second Uncle doesn't have to worry about money. He is a partner. I didn't pay for the money. I'm just a technical guide."

In other words, it doesn't hurt to lose.

Although he didn't understand what technical guidance meant, he understood it!
The eldest niece of affection has the same virtue as him, and she lives on her lips.

"Okay, my daughter knows it in her own mind, why are you so fussy, don't you like the white money in your pocket?"

Mrs. Liu spoke, she knew that Gu Nanyan was a successful man, she was a rural mother-in-law with little knowledge, but she believed in her daughter-in-law.

So no matter what Gu Nanyan decides, Mrs. Liu will not interfere.

When Gu Laishhou got his mother's words, he immediately agreed cheerfully, served the meals reserved for his wife and children, and hurried back to announce the good news.

At this time, the atmosphere of the Gu family was not very peaceful.

Gu Mancang sat in the yard with a frowning frown and smoked the dry smoke.

The Gu family only reserved two acres of land, and sold the rest.

Just now the village head sent over the money for the land sale, a total of 76 taels.

But he wasn't happy at all.

That was accumulated acre by acre from generation to generation, but now it is completely defeated by him.

He couldn't help it, the Gu family had a total of five rooms, he and Mrs. Liu slept in the front room, the elders had two sons and a daughter, one more person than the other two rooms, so they occupied two rooms.

The second and third families each occupy a room.

But now that the eldest grandson Gu Chengguang is getting married, he can't still sleep with someone else.

The family discussed it and decided to have two more rooms.

One will be used as a wedding room for the grandson, and the other... the partner of the second child's family will have to build one for life and death.
